I would like to know why the control settings always get screwed up with these patches. Is it, or isn't it, possible to just leave them the heck alone?

In other words, is it technically possible not to reset our settings when patches occur? We take time to 'have it our way' and it gets quite tiresome to change from 'have it WG's way' whenever a new patch appears.

I recommend CCleaner. I've used it for years with no problems. Free version works great but these days I use the (cheap) Pro version.

Please check the depot and submit a ticket if you don't find your upgrades there.

I am sorry but for what purposes (ans what files in particular - you can attach them to your post) do you want to open them?

Mods are problematic to say the least.. Every download you have to update & sometimes uninstall before the update.. Too much hassle.. Don't know why we need mods.. The most popular features should become part of the game anyway.. They complicate things drastically.

all of my paint jobs, settings and upgrades were in place. However, the game froze both times I exited, requiring a "sign out" to clear. I guess that's better than having it happen when trying to enter a game, but still very annoying.

They tell me to clear cache like I am stupid or something.. The update did clear cache & wiped settings.. That is why I need to get to the settings, to reset them.. I cleared cache again though to no avail.. Tried the game & settings is still blank.

Yeah, I read that. But there has to be some sort of reason. From the stuff I have read, keeping a record of the settings on the client is not that big of a deal. So, why doesn't WG do that? I understand that if the interface changes, the settings change too, but that doesn't imply that if you change one part of the interface that ALL the settings have to disappear. Especially stuff like joystick settings. That is the primary reason I abandoned using a joystick was the third time I had to set it up (again). A gigantic PITA for what?

I just want to fly and shoot stuff down. I don't want to have to fsck around with the damn interface multiple times a year.
